Corsair Release Individually Sleeved Modular Cables
It seems we've been talking and Corsair has been listening once again, in a few mods i have seen recently, it seems people have been sleeving individual cables instead of complete collections of cables, and this has produced a stunning effect when done correctly, it appears Corsair have noticed this and decided rather than to just continue on with what they were doing, to get on with improving one of their core products.
It seems they've come up with a genius idea that rather than spec'ing up your own set of individually sleeved aftermarket cables, which are extensions and clip on to the existing PSU cables, which therefore result longer in much longer cables. This also means you have a much harder job trying to keep your cables behind the motherboard tray tidy and even in some cases hard to get the back panel refitted!
Whereas, if you have a corsair PSU, which i know most people reading this, being enthusiasts, will do, you can just swap your current cables out for nice individually braided, professional quality, genuine corsair cable kit.
They will be on sale in the UK soon, prices are only given in $ not £, so once they get over here, imagine prices to be similar, they are listed at $79.99, $89.99, and $99.99 for the different PSU's that they fit.
the $79.99 one fits the Professional Series HX / Enthusiast Series TXM Series
the $89.99 one fits the Professional Series AX850/AX750/AX650
and the $99.99 one fits the Professional Series Gold AX1200
We have to admit on the face of this we think its an absolute genius idea and cant believe no one has done it sooner. If one of the extension cable manufacturers had done this we dont think they could have made them quick enough. Finally you can buy off the shelf extension cables in a range of colours for your PSU. Keep your eyes peeled for the OC3D review in the next couple of weeks.

its still over 80 euros for a set of cables
altho they do look awesome
godammet u corsair i just bought bitfenix cables
I've compared the quality of the Corsair to the NZXT and they look the same to me. The heatshrink is just as good and while the braid used is different they both look good. The NZXT was a bit harder to shape and flex but I'd not really consider that a negative.
One thing is for sure though the AX1200 I have has a 7 year warranty and if it ever dies I'm just going to get a replacement so I think these cables will last me through to 2016 at-least. With that in mind I think I'll get my moneys worth out of them as I would have done with an extension kit that I could move from PSU to PSU. In short I think they are pricey but worth it if you want to go the extra mile on your rigs looks. These are purely a vanity addition.
almost half extra just for tax
also red ones
FTW
coulden't resist buying em

Lol, they do look fantastic though and will mean less clutter in your rig.
i can't but help to annoy myself with the wires behind the motherboard tray
even if u can't see it i like it to be clean ^^
its actually thanks to vicey that i made the choice
his comment was convincing
Anyone in the UK found these anywhere yet other than direct from Corsair?
I looked and looked and couldn't find anyone selling them. I even tried Google shopping which must have indexed over 100 sites in Europe and had no luck. Keep in mind though if you do order direct from Corsair they will be dispatched from the Netherlands so you won't need to pay import VAT on them.
